UWG Joins Partnership to Help At-Risk Students in Carroll County

The University of West Georgia is participating in the Orange Duffel Bag initiative, a Georgia 501c3 public charity designed to improve education success, ongoing advocacy and service to the community in a spirit of offering hope and positive systematic change.  The program, held on a college campus for collegiate academic exposure, will bring together 30 at-risk Carroll County high school juniors and seniors who are at risk of not completing their secondary and post-secondary education for an intense 12-week coaching program. Participants from Central High School in Carrollton, Georgia., will engage in curriculum and experiential sessions led by ODB’s seasoned, executive-level coaches once a week on UWG’s campus.
